I'm flying next 18 december from jakarta to ambon at 6:00 in the morning. Is there an early morning bus from gambir station to get to the airport on time (let's say leaving at 3:30 - 4:00 a.m.)to take my flight? Is it easy to get a bajai from jalan jaksa to gambir station at 3:30 in the morning?
Thanks for your help,
Alex
alex, based on published schedule, first bus leaving gambir is 4:00 am and goes off every 30 mins. you may call damri to make sure: BIS DAMRI BANDARA – 021 424 1357.
i believe bajaj is easy to get in jalan jaksa area; even you can ask to book it the night before.
Hello
If you wanted to you could just walk to Gambir.
The buses are not an on time machine. If they dont have enough people they may not go. If your flight is important i would just get a bluebird taxi and have no worries. Cost about $15 but you will get there on time and you wont have to get up as early.

Hi,
Sorry to contradict but DAMRI buses ARE on a time schedule because they are taking people to and from the airport.
They charge a lot more for this priveledge of leaving on time, compared to other buses.
I have caught DAMRI buses many times from Bogor to the airport and vice versa.
Pamela.
based on my own experiences, the bus will depart to airport by time schedule whether they get passengers or not. the bus is also needed to getting people from airport back to the city.
Yes of course, if you can't find any in the airport go and buy to the nearest bookstore (Gramedia, Toko Gunung Agung, TGA Bookstore) most probably located in Malls, the nearest one would in Mega Mall Pluit.
The Map of course reliable but it's still hard to find any specific places like houses in Jakarta especially places located in the alley due to awful road signage and bad landmark. You should ask pedestrian around if you can't find the place that you're looking for.
Really!
I'm always looking forward to put on the television... while I hardly look at it while I'm in Belgium.
WHY? Well Indonesian television is so colourfull and different. They know how to make fun , dance and sing....I love that.
In Europe the series hardly got windows in their house....
To comfort myself I bought at least 3 Bollywoodfilms for the sad and cheerless days.
Many homes have more than one garden. Several I saw had rooms built with a square in the center which served as a private garden. It was very peaceful in the midst of Jakarta, a city of more than 11 million people.
This is the window of one of the women's quarters. Orchids grow almost wildly here, and no glass on the windows!
The best time to visit Pasar Ikan (Fish Market) is around dawn when the day's catch is sold in an intense, colourful scene of busy crowds. Take a view at Pasar Ikan from the old Watch-Tower (Jl. Pakin), built in 1839. Mostly it is closed, so look for the chief-in-charge to get the key. The great view is spread out over Sunda Kelapa, Pasar Ikan (see pic) and the harbour region.
The new annex to the Plaza Indonesia was christened the Enterntainment X'nter or the eX. Apart from its corny name and its futuristic-looking building that is quite tacky IMHO, the eX offers dozens of small restaurants, trendy cafes and coffee shops including well-known staple brands such as Starbucks and Gloria Jean's.
The building also houses a handful of stores selling pricey teen ikea-look-a-like knick knacks that no one probably needs anyway, a music store, a bowling alley, a pool hall, a fitness center, a London-based hair salon, and what probably the most expensive movie theater in town. The eX will also become the new home for the Hard Rock Cafe Jakarta.
Although it is not yet fully operational (there are several stores that haven't been opened yet), throngs of people have crowded this place especially on weekends.
All in all, the new smallish mall is excellent if you want to hang out with your friends and go people-watching, since it's open until 2AM on weekends. However, the number and variety of the stores are a bit of a let down.
